Last week's paranormal news and views roundup included a blog titled, "Time travelers: Please don't kill Hitler," which reasoned that changing that part of the historical timeline might actually cause more harm than good.
Reader Cold one responded, "I would go back to 1492 with a couple of cases of automatic rifles and ammo. I would tell the indigenous people (Indians) to kill all the pale bearded men, burn their ships, and never let any of them settle on this land!" ... to which Dale R. adds: "Thus changing history forever, which would have huge complications on your life such as immunity to new diseases, changes in history where a certain person dies and that leads to your birth...."
For the time being, I don't think we have to worry about time travel, but still we'd like to ask the question and get your response:
If you could travel into the past, where and when would you most like to go, and why? And would you want to change anything?
Post your responses here.
